24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Hattiesburg, MS
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the bathroom fan actually venting?
Into the attic, on a great many of these. The duct goes up through the ceiling and stops, sometimes pointed at a vent and sometimes lying loose on the insulation. Everything the fan removes from the bathroom is delivered into the roof space.
Why does that look like a roof leak?
Because it wets the underside of the deck. Warm wet air rises, meets the cool sheathing and condenses there, so the boards are damp and stained across an area and drops fall onto the insulation. A roof inspection finds nothing wrong with the roof.
How is it put right?
By carrying the duct through to the outside and terminating it properly, which is an hour of work in most attics. The harder part is the damage already done, because years of this softens sheathing and ruins insulation over a wide area.
